Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of providing thermal vias in a printed circuit board that includes one or more layers of board material, for conducting heat from components mounted on and/or in the board through said board through said board and away therefrom, and also relates to a printed cirucit board that includes vias arranged in accordance with method. One or more holes (4) are provided in a printed circuit board that includes several metal layers. A metal ball (6) is inserted into each hole and subjected to pressure such as to deform said ball, and tightly fixating the resultant slug against the wall (5) of said hole. The deformed ball or slug fixed in the hole, which may have a metallised inner surface, functions to conduct heat and/or electricity between a metallised topside (2) and bottom side (3) of the printed circuit board and also between intermediate metallised layers in the case of a multi-layer board.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for managing data flow between Mobile Nodes (MNs), Access Routers (AR) and peer nodes (HA, CNs), wherein, when a Mobile Node makes handover from one Access Router (AR) to new Access Router (AR2, AR3, . . . ARn), a decision is made whether to command the first Access Router (AR1) to act as an Anchor Access Router and forward data from the peer nodes (HA, CNs) to the Mobile Node via the new Access Router (AR2, AR3, . . . ARn), or to send an update of the new position of the mobile node to a peer node (HA, CN). The decision is made based on at least one of the following criterias: -the number of peer nodes (HA,CN1, CN2, . . . CNn) to which it has ongoing sessions, -the time elapsed from a previous update sent to the peer nodes (HA, CNs), -the traffic activity between the peer node(s) (HA, CN1, CN2, . . . CNn) and the Mobile Node (MN), -amount of signaling or traffic load between mobile node and Access Router and/or peer nodes, -the state of the underlying layers, -the state of the mobile node, -the frequency of handovers.

Title: Structure for interlocking connectors
Inventor: CHEN PING
IPC: H01R13/639
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: A structure for interlocking connectors improves rigidity of a push
lever as well as mutual retention and mechanical strength to a proper extent,
and increases the feeling of click when they are engaged with each other,
further protecting the lever to be caught by foreign wire ends. The
connectors are a male connector (1) and a female connector (2) to be fitted
on the male connector, and a lockable lug (7) is formed on the outer surface
of one of connector housings (3). A lock arm (15) integral with a pawl
(16) engaging with the lockable lug (7) is secured above the outer surface of
the other connector housing (4), by a pair of elastically deformable hinge-shaped
feet (17). The push lever (18) is disposed on a rear end of the lock
arm (15) extending rearwards beyond the feet (17). The lever (18) and a
pair of bridging members (19) continuing from opposite lateral ends of the
lever and integrally fixed on side walls of the housing (4) serve as an arch-shaped
guard for the interlocking structure.
